Disguise handwriting is change of handwriting for hiding the identity of writer. This is only done for some mean purpose. In present study disguise handwriting of forensic experts were analysed and seen the similarities in particular occupation while disguising their writing and also their occupational impact on the act of disguise handwriting.
In this study 100 original and 100 disguise handwriting samples were taken from the forensic experts and analysed on the basis of different handwriting characteristics & also with the help of different instruments like Docubox HD, Docucenter Nirvis etc.
After comparison and analysis, it is found that mostly the experts emphasised on disguise of skill and letter formation i.e. 73% and 79% of experts which shows the impact of their occupation as being a forensic expert they know these two characteristics are having much values in examination. Whereas, there are very few who are able to disguised their alignment and slant i.e. 28% and 16%.
This study shows that instead of having a knowledge of disguise writing no one is able to fully change their writing as their sub-conscious habit cannot be supressed fully also due to high number of people emphasized in changing their skill and formation of letters shows impact of their occupation while disguising their handwriting.
